Weep Not, Little Soldiers of Fabulosity! Oct15

Weep Not, Little Soldiers of Fabulosity!

Darling minions, are you depressed that Project Runway is ending tonight? Are you fearful that legal shenanigans will keep Season 6 in limbo for another decade? Dry your eyes, kittens. Stylista is on its way. “Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with...

Kenleyology Oct14

Kenleyology

Children, the word for today is “bold.” Bold colors, bold patterns, bold silhouettes. Like her personality, Kenley’s designs are loud and brash. You know what’s not the word for today? What never should have been the word for Kenley? “Retro.” Looking over...

Mad Men Season 2 Episode 11: The Jet Set

Don Draper’s a self-absorbed piece of shit, but damn, does he look good when he’s being one. We’re nearing the end of the season with only two more episodes to go so it’s plot, plot, plot from here on out it looks like. For the first time this season, an episode picks...

Leannology Oct13

Leannology

Darlings, now comes one of our favorite parts of every season: the “ology” posts. This is when we look at the entire output of each remaining designer to see if we can find some common themes and make some predictions about their runway show. Of course, we’ve already seen...

Homeward Bound Oct13

Homeward Bound

Darlings, if you’re a long-time minion, you know how much we enjoy what we call the “homeward bound” episode at the end of every season. You can read our original thoughts on why we love it so much here. Basically, what we love most about it is that it fills in the blanks on...

There was a little girl who had a lot of curls… Oct11

There was a little girl who had a lot of curls…

We said it last week: when Korto goes off the rails, she really goes off the rails. At her best, she produces interesting, sometimes eye-popping, innovative designs, but in her quest to be different, she sometimes winds up with designs that aren’t so much eye-popping as eye-searing. With Korto, it’s either amazingly beautiful or insanely ugly. We think there’s a reason for that. We said that Leanne has an intellectual approach to design. When Leanne fails, the result is usually bland or boring. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Korto, who has not so much an intellectual approach as an emotional one. She needs to...

Wedding Noodles Oct10

Wedding Noodles

The judges’ reaction to this dress was one of, if not the, most overwhelmingly positive reactions to a garment the judges have ever had on the show. At one point during the breathless gushing, Tom turned to Lorenzo and said, “Wow. They are totally moist.” And rightfully so....

Miss Congeniality Oct09

Miss Congeniality

Once again, kittens…   Let’s get to it. Not that we were ever completely won over by her, but when she made her totally half-assed apology to the other designers in their hotel suite, we thought, “Ok, she at least tried to give the appearance of being a little...

We have no witty title. This blows. Oct09

We have no witty title. This blows.

It was bullshitty in the first place that Jerell even had to compete for a spot in Bryant Park. He won that last challenge and by the rules of the competition that should have guaranteed him a spot. Unfortunately for him, the producers just couldn’t leave well enough alone. Which, come...

Judy Noodles Responds! Oct08

Judy Noodles Responds!

Darlings, you asked and we got the answer. Leanne, we’re getting a TON of emails asking us why you switched models. You mentioned on the show that you thought Suede had an advantage by having Tia etc etc. Do you want to add anything to that for our readers? I had no idea we would be...

We’re Having Our Own Damn Reunion Show! Oct08

We’re Having Our Own Damn Reunion Show!

Hit it, Heidi! “We picked the fifteen – or sixteen, I can never remember – most talented designers and flew them to New York to compete for the opportunity of a lifetime. Tonight all of them meet again for the first time since they gathered in New York. We’ll see...

From the Carrie White Collection Oct07

From the Carrie White Collection

Even though she’s clearly among the top contenders and has been since day one, when Korto makes a misstep, it’s a major one. Case in point. Without being told ahead of time, we never would have guessed that this was a Korto creation. Where’s the volume? The rich colors? The...

Mad Men Season 2 Episode 10: The Inheritance

Well. That was a weird one. We always watch each episode twice before writing a review. Quite often, upon the first viewing we come away thinking “What a weird episode. Nothing happened.” Upon the second viewing, we tend to pick up on the nuances and we almost always conclude that...

The Return of the Noodle Oct06

The Return of the Noodle

Well, after last week’s practically noodle-free look (that the judges didn’t like), Judy brought them back in a big, big way. We’re of two minds on this one. Lorenzo thinks it’s gorgeous and Tom thinks it’s good, but problematic. We can both agree that she did...

Laura Bennett: Didn’t I Feed You Yesterday? Oct06

Laura Bennett: Didn’t I Feed You Yesterday?

Our gal is writing a column for Tina Brown’s recently launched site, The Daily Beast. As with everything else, she’s defining motherhood on her own damn terms. “Thank God for school. I never understand the mothers who get excited just before breaks, as if getting to sleep...

Total Tulle Oct03

Total Tulle

Alright, kittens.      Let’s get to it . Look, once again we need to remind everyone that we’ve hardly been in the tank for Mean Girl. Why do we feel the need to remind everyone of that? Because we think she’s not nearly as bad as people seem to think. The...

Congrats, Jerell! Oct02

Congrats, Jerell!

You did it again, girl! Unfortunately, you did it again in the bullshittiest episode of the season. What a bunch of sourpusses. This happens every season. They whittle it down to 4 or 5 exhausted designers, hand them an ill-defined “inspiration” challenge (along with a camera) and...

If You’re Not Watching The Rachel Zoe… Sep30

If You’re Not Watching The Rachel Zoe…

…Project, then darling, why not? We admit that we weren’t exactly on the edge of our seats waiting for the show to debut, but it has worked its way under our skin and now we consider it must-see reality television. We can’t say we were ever Rachel’s biggest fans in the...

It’s Kenley, Bitch. Sep30

It’s Kenley, Bitch.

Alright, there’s only one dress left and we barely have anything to say about it so we might as well get started. Jerell had the easiest time of it this challenge. Partially because he had a pretty model that could pull off the look he was assigned (unlike most of the designers) and...

Mad Men Season 2 Episode 9: Six Month Leave

We have to suppress our knowledge of the sometimes seismic events that occurred throughout the ’60s when we watch this show because for the most part, events happen far off camera and are only obliquely referred to by the characters, more often to provide ambiance than any sort of...

Country Style Noodles Sep29

Country Style Noodles

Oh, right. An episode aired last week, didn’t it? It would be difficult to determine exactly which designer had the toughest job but it’s probably a tossup between Kenley having to make Leanne look hip hop and Leanne having to make Korto look country. We know one thing: Their...

Nina Said Knock You Out! Sep26

Nina Said Knock You Out!

Have you ever seen Tim look so ready to throttle someone in his life? And this is a man who’s spent a lot of time with Santino and Wendy Pepper. Disaster. Seriously, what are we supposed to say? Are we supposed to explain why she didn’t get auf’d? Well, we can’t. Judy...

Congrats, Country Korto! Sep25

Congrats, Country Korto!

We have to admit, there are times when Korto can be pretty annoying but last night wasn’t one of them. We were laughing out loud at every other line that came out of her mouth last night. As for the design… It was okay. We’re not saying it didn’t deserve the win. To...

The Technical Term for This is "Bullshit." Sep25

The Technical Term for This is "Bullshit."

Honeys, we don’t think anyone with a brain could accuse us of being in the bag for Suede this season. He’s certainly received more than his share of T Lo bitchery, but this decision is pure horseshit, right up there with Nick’s auf’ing to keep Santino in the game and...
